Hotels in Sri Lanka

We recently stayed at Samadhi Lagoon Villa for 3 days, and it was a truly peaceful and memorable experience for our family. The villa is beautifully situated, offering breathtaking lagoon views that create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The rooms were clean, spacious, and tastefully designed, combining both comfort and elegance. The staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, which made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was fresh and delicious, with a delightful variety of local dishes. We also enjoyed a wonderful kayak boat ride on the lagoon, which added to the charm of the serene environment. Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunset over the lagoon was truly magical, providing an ideal setting for meditation.

The staff is extremely kind, they look out for your comfort far and beyond. The garden and pool area are very well taken care of and the food at the restaurant is delicious.

We love that peaceful and relaxing location with luxury comfort. Staff were caring and polite. Room was tidy clean. We enjoyed morning yoga, sunset walks by the endless beach and romantic dinner under stars. Beautiful place, memorable stay. Would love to come back again

Everything was great, an amazing location in the middle of the forest, with a lovely village nearby. The host was wonderful, and all the staff were super friendly. I definitely recommend this place.

I will tell anyone coming to Sri Lanka - stay with Ravi at Margosa Mountain Villa. Best stay on our trip and top 5 lifetime. Stunning setting. Perfect room. Delicious food -organic rice, fruit, fish etc. right from the property, expertly cooked by Ravi’s wife Sewwandi. Pool is sublime. Birds galore (and easy to find and ID with Ravi’s help). Booked for two days. Stayed for 4. Great spot for excursions Dambulla, Sigiriya, and beyond, but we were happy just to relax and meditate on our good fortune to be there. Ravi spent 23 years as tour guide and it shows both in his care and expertise. I know this review sounds like a plug from one of his friends but I promise that 5 days ago we’d never met. But, yes, we have definitely made a new friend. Stay as long as you can.

the hotel is equipped with all the facilities including a well experienced cook to prepare meals per your desire. lovely place and they have a beautiful pool.

Had such a great stay at this newly opened villa run by a very humble and kind couple. Super chill vibe from the start. Rooms were really clean and comfy, and the staff were super friendly and always helpful. The food and drinks were honestly amazing definitely one of the highlights. You can tell they’ve put a lot of love into the place. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nice, relaxed stay 👌

I loved the peacefulness and great air quality in the place, Saman and Mesha were extremely accommodating and were excellent hosts I really felt like I was in my second home. The bungalow is clean and well insulated from insects and has all needed amenities. Saman is a great guide and Mesha is an amazing cook both very friendly and speak great English. I will really miss this place I can’t wait to come back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent all-round experience at Dormero Beach Hotel. The location is perfect, with a beautiful and very clean beach right at your doorstep. The hotel itself is spotless and well maintained, which made our stay extremely comfortable. The staff truly stand out – friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The service throughout the stay was outstanding. The food was delicious, well prepared, and offered great variety. Overall, it was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality beachside stay with great service and comfort.

I’ve been in Sri Lanka for 4 weeks and stayed at more than a dozen places. This one I will never forget. When I first saw the ad, I thought it looked too good to be true. But since there was a special price for the opening, I thought I’d give it a try. I could not be happier with the choice. I've had an unforgettable experience. This place is absolutely fantastic! To help future guests, I will try to provide as much detail as I can in BOTH columns: The cottage only opened in February 2024, so everything is brand new. Unlike in other places, you actually get what you see in the pictures. Everything about this place is very well thought-through and built in a way such as to allow for a most pleasant stay: The cottage is located very quietly in the middle of nature but still close enough to town (5 min by tuktuk). It has an outdoor terrace with two regular and one swing chair offering a lovely view over the garden. The bedroom is beautifully designed and very spacious. The wardrobe and dresser offer plenty of space to store luggage openly and easily accessible. The beds are very comfortable and the mattrasses have standard European/US length (I mention this because sometimes in Sri Lanka, the mattrasses are shorter so that your feet stick out at the end). The A/C is very powerful and there are no smells (which sometimes happens with older models). It cools down the entire room very evenly. There are multiple electrical outlets which all types of sockets (even USB slots). There are light switches for every single lamp which allows you to set the lighting in just the way you prefer. Worth mentioning here too is the warm temperature of the light. The WiFi is reliable and sufficiently strong for browsing, streaming, and video calls.

The rooms are amazing, it feels right in the jungle; no need to go to a safari, just sit on your porch and watch the nature unfold with the monkeys and many birds…

Breakfast a treat! Healthy, fresh ingredients beautifully combined for a scrumptious meal. Clean, very spacious and comfortable rooms.
